Rude Pundit: On Cowardly Democrats

Lee Papa, The Rude Pundit

I wrote recently on the Democrats' maddening tendency toward cowardice, particularly during campaigns. Instead of touting the strengths of say, ObamaCare, they instead pretend they have never heard of it. That kind of thing. But, as usual, somebody done it better already: The Rude Pundit. As usual, it's more than worth a read.[Excerpt]Democrats Once Again Put on Their Coward Pants (With Exceptions)Look, you can cavil all you want about Kentucky Democratic Senate nominee Alison Lundergan Grimes's refusal to answer whether or not she voted for Barack Obama. You can sit there all self-satisfied and pat yourself on the fuckin' back that you support the sanctity of the secret ballot and that, really, it's not all that important that she answer. You can pretend all you want that Grimes is correct to stand on principle or that, if she said that she voted for Obama, it would be used in attack ads endlessly by that unrepentant, smug cuntface, Mitch McConnell. You know that it's far, far more important that McConnell refuses to say if he thinks climate change is human-caused or that Kynect, Kentucky's Obamacare exchange, would be harmed if you got rid of Obamacare, something the governor of Kentucky ripped McConnell for. That's shit that affects the daily lives of Kentuckians, not what Grimes did in a voting booth. . .
